Various Claimants v IPSA
[2021] EWHC 2020 (QB)
Key Principle
Data-breach claimants are not entitled to anonymity simply because their claim arises from disclosure of their personal data; anonymity is a derogation from open justice that requires specific, credible evidence that disclosure of identity would defeat the purpose of the claim or create a real risk to safety.
